I have built a brand new Windows 7 64BIT pc, I have installed the Sitefinity Projects Manager and created a test site.
I then downloaded the latest Sitefinity SDK.It will not install saying I NEED TO INSTALL SITEFINITY.
It is installed
Please see error attached.

I am also seeing this issue with Win7 64bit. I have Sitefinity 4.1 project manager running with a project that was created previously. I did go through the instructions of adding the project and it's running. However I can't seem to install the SDK. Here's my log file:

If you need only some files, which are contained in the SDK a workaround may be to extract the files from the MSI file.

Open the command line and type:

msiexec /a Path-To-MSI-File /qb TARGETDIR=Directory-To-Extract-To

For Example:
Msi file is located in c:\
An new folder sf41-sdk was created in c:\

msiexec /a c:\Sitefinity_SDK_4.1.1339.0.msi /qb TARGETDIR=c:\sf41-sdk

Doing this, i managed to get contents extracted to the folder described obove. Also the SDK Browser runs.

All the best

I am glad to hear you have resolved the issue. You are right - having Sitefinity installed means that you need to have the whole .msi package downloaded and installed, not just the project manager. If you need any further assistance please do not hesitate to contact me.
